The NASA Postdoctoral Program
offers U.S. and international scientists the opportunity to advance their research while contributing to NASA's scientific goals.
The NPP supports
fundamental science; explores
the undiscovered; promotes
intellectual growth;
and encourages scientific connections.
Selected
by a competitive peer-review process, NPP Fellows complete
one- to three-year Fellowship appointments that advance
NASA's missions in earth science,
heliophysics, planetary
science, astrophysics, space bioscience, aeronautics and engineering, human exploration and space operations, and astrobiology.
